"Dearest Bob:
I was so happy when I got a letter yesterday- and to-day.
I am sorry Dorothy thinks we have broken up- no doubt after listening ini she doesn't think so. And, dear, I'll forgive you if you will punch her in the nose- I think it is horrid of her.
No doubt you have heard that H___'s brother passed away- it is very sad, especially so near Christmas.
I am so glad- glad- that you are coming - and it won't be long now.
I hope you get this to-morrow before you leave.
I must be chief cook to-day as Mother is at church- it will probably be eggs!!
And Bobby, be sure you wear your overcoat??
I'll see you to-morrow. Bye-bye.
Your Sweetheart,
Jean"
